PediHeart: Congenital Heart Disease - Anatomy
Introduction to Cardiac Anatomy. An understanding of normal and abnormal cardiacmorphology is basic to the management of congenital heart defects.
http://www.pediheart.org/practitioners/anatomy/

Extractions: An understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac morphology is basic to the management of congenital heart defects. Problems exists in the nomenclature of cardiac morphology, suffice it to say that the most appropriate terminology is that which is functional, accurate, and to the best extent possible, accepted by the majority of workers in the field. In a typical example, a ventricle may be referred to as left-sided, systemic, pulmonary, arterial, etc., but the question remains, which ventricle is it - the morphologically left or the morphologically right? The diagnostic problem is that a positional left ventricle may be a morphologically right ventricle. Morphologic anatomic identification is therefore cornerstone of accurate diagnosis. The segmental approach to the diagnosis of congenital heart defects is based upon an understanding of the morphologic features of the different segments of the heart. The cardiac segments are the building blocks out of which all hearts are built, and include the great veins, atria, ventricles, and great arteries. The ability to distinguish the different segments of the heart is the cornerstone of cardiac morphology, and distinctions are based on knowledge of the structure of the normal heart. However, what would seem to be the most diagnostic features of any particular cardiac segment in the normal heart may not always be the most reliable indicator of its true identity in the malformed heart. For example, the most distinguishing feature of the left atrium might well be considered its connections to the pulmonary veins. However, this feature is of little value in identifying the left atrium in the presence of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Hence, the morphological method, by which cardiac segments are identified according to their most constant features, is the most accurate way to identify structures in a malformed heart.

http://www.tmc.edu/thi/ebstein.html

Extractions: Center Ebstein's Anomaly Ebstein's anomaly is a defect that mainly affects the tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve is the valve that controls blood flow between the heart's upper-right chamber (the right atrium) and lower-right chamber (the right ventricle). In Ebstein's anomaly, the tricuspid valve is located lower than normal, so the upper part of the right ventricle is part of the right atrium. This means that the right ventricle is too small and the right atrium is too large. Besides being too low, the tricuspid valve may not be formed correctly. Heart valves are made up of flaps called leaflets. When the leaflets are normal, they act like doors, which control blood flow by opening and closing. But in Ebstein's anomaly, abnormal leaflets may let blood leak back into the atrium after it has flowed into the ventricle. This backward flow of blood makes the atrium even larger and the ventricle even smaller. People born with Ebstein's anomaly often have other heart problems, including

Congenital Heart Disease
Provides an overview of the facility. The major topics in adult congenital heart disease are discussed for the patient and the cardiologist.
http://hora.cpmc.columbia.edu/dept/congenitalheart/index.html

Extractions: Successful cardiac surgery in infants and children during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in a rapidly growing population of adults with congenital heart disease. Some of these patients have cardiac problems which are not typically seen by adult cardiologists. The Joan And Michael Schneeweiss Center for Adult Congenital Heart Disease at New York Presbyterian Hospital was developed to serve the unique needs of this population. Highly specialized care is provided by a team of physicians specifically interested in the problems of adults with congenital heart disease. The Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program is directed by Dr. Marlon S. Rosenbaum, a cardiologist trained in both adult and pediatric heart disease. The Program is a vital resource for patients with both newly diagnosed congenital heart disease and those who had cardiac surgery earlier in life. Diagnostic studies such as echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and cardiac catheterization are performed by physicians knowledgeable about adult congenital heart disease. Our cardiac MRI facility has state of the art software which permits rapid acquisition of images and provides highly detailed anatomic information. Cardiopulmonary stress testing is performed by an exercise physiologist with extensive experience in exercise and congenital heart disease. The cardiac surgical program at the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center is led by Dr. Jan Quaegebeur and Dr. Ralph Mosca. Our surgeons have had extensive experience in the repair of many different forms of congenital heart disease, including D-transposition of the great arteries, single ventricle, Ebstein's anomaly and aortic valve disease using the Ross procedure.

Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on congenital heart disease, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1867. T he reported incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is eight cases per 1,000 live births. Family physicians must know how to screen for cardiac defects in infants, how to stabilize infants with these problems and how to manage their problems in teamwork with a pediatric cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon. As patient advocates, we also must be prepared to help the parents and other family members cope with the psychosocial aspects of chronic disease in a child. Diagnosis Studies suggest that 30 to 60 percent of congenital heart defects can be detected prenatally by four-chamber screening. High-resolution four-chamber transvaginal echocardiography can provide detailed imaging of the cardiac anatomy in the fetus and can detect major abnormalities, although routine prenatal screening for CHD remains controversial.
